Nate Zolman, president of Zolman’s Tire, is known for hard work, smart decisions, and adaptability. He transformed the company into a regional powerhouse in tires and truck repair.
The Origins of Zolman’s Tire
The story of Zolman’s Tire begins with Bud Zolman. He built the Indiana-based tire shop from scratch with grit. Nate practically grew up in the shop, changing tires and fixing cars. He learned firsthand what running a business takes. When his time came, he didn’t just follow in his father’s footsteps—he forged his own path.
